- Today's tool review features the WORX TRIVAC WG512 Electric Leaf Blower, Mulcher, and Vacuum. This is an updated version from previous models and now has a patented converter switch to go from a blower to a vacuum. It has impressive blower speeds of 70mph and 600 CFM airflow. It also has an impressive metal impeller with a 16:1 mulching ration. The bag includes an adjustable shoulder strap, which makes 1 handed operation very easy. The video shows all the features and what it's capable of.

QUESTION OF THE DAY: Would you prefer the Trivac to be gas, electric, or battery powered? And why? Did it mulch like you expected it to?
hey
👋
I love your review I have the older version that I had for 6 years now and electric is the way to go
I'd say definitely gas and battery. This review was a year ago I see but I'm just now looking into buying one of these. I LOVE the concept and in fact, a uncle of mine just got one and LOVES it. The issue for myself is the fact its not wireless. Does anyone know if they actually make a gas/Battery operated one? Or something equivalent? I have 4 acres and I'm also a female who lives alone. I find in to be such a "pain in the arse" not only have to pull out a super long extention cord but the MAIN issue i have, the cord isn't long enough with no outlets near by (rem I have 4 acres which 2 of them i really "clean up" since there are 2 decks, wrap around porch, barn, pool area, super long driveway, framed out flower beds everywhere, sidewalks, and much more). The other MAIN issue i have now with just my current leaf blower that electric, the extention cord constantly gets stuck on/under things. For example my huge wrap around porch that I have outdoor furniture etc. Thats even moving all of it around before and during "my cleaning session lol". You get the point. Hopefully! I have to ask my uncle who now owns this machine because he recently just purchased it. (He lives in the city and lives in a smaller row home so this is beyond perfect for him). In this demo (which i loved btw) i noticed when "sucking up the leaves for example," it didn't seem too "powerful" if you will. I hope I'm wrong. This isn't to come across as negative as well as pointing out all the concerns I have. I'm only stating to hopefully be able to get some legit honest answers. I truly appreciate anyone and everyone that takes the time to just read my longer message (apologies in advance) let alone also reply with any advice. Means so much more than you even know my friends. 😁
@@shannonissweet8009 i am looking at the battery operated one they are now making, i have stihl battery line trimmer and hedge trims and pole saw and thats all fine, the hedger is a bit lighter duty than gas stuff.
Worx owes you big time for demonstrating this product so well. Fantastic review. I was worried it wouldn’t work for my use, but demos like this put your mind at ease. Keep up the great work!
Thank you! I'll probably be using this vacuum over the next couple of days for the final fall cleanup.
GREAT REVIEW ... especially the part where you showed how much it mulched a full bag of leafs down to sixth of a bag. EXTREMELY HELPFUL demonstration!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks.
Very nice clear review! I live I. A gaited community and all leaves were supposed to be removed last fall. I attempted to clear them with a leaf blower and rake and broom, filled one bag and left the rest near the street.
They are now deep in my beds and still on my yard. This is exactly what I need. Thank you for getting to the point quickly and answering all my questions in a Short and incisive video. I’ll let you know how it works after I get it.
Thanks, glad to hear that information. I hope it works well for you. FYI- it might get a little dusty, but it should tackle the leaves no problem.
Thanks for a well thought out and presented review of the Trivac. You provided all the info I was seeking ... thanks for your time and effort. Cheers!!
Thanks, my pleasure!
ordered today on amazon. had a leaf vacuum several years ago. the vacuum makes way more sense than blowing but having the blower to congregate the leaves is a great idea
Yes, that's exactly the benefit with this setup. I was testing out another blower recently in a window well. It blew the leaves everwhere, causing a lot more work after getting the leaves out. It makes more sense to vacuum them out.
Thank you! Your video on this Worx is the best!! I just bought it especially for the mulch feature around my gardens and am going to do the vacuum and mulch as soon as the leaves are dry from the rain. 👍🏻👍🏻😁😁
The mulch feature is great. I cleaned a big window well full of them and it's amazing how they get compacted.
That thing looks like a BEAST!!!
Yeah dude, this thing really shreds the leaves up! I suppose it could be used as a backup paper shredder, lol!
Great review, showed me everything I wanted to know!
Awesome, glad to hear it!
Great Review, thanks. Besides using for piling leaves, vacuum, mulching, seems powerful enough for clearing off light snow from our composite deck allowing for convenient and safer, access to BBQ and hot tub. Choosing the electric plug in as you mentioned as outdoor outlet nearby, it is quieter than gas (can use before work earlier in morning when necessary), also more powerful than many battery powered and certainly less money. On sale, going to buy it!
It's quieter than gas and would be powerful enough to use as a leaf blower for light snow. The Worx company mentioned that they kept this version as a corded model because a battery wouldn't hold up long enough to power it for fall cleanups.
LOVE your animated red arrow on the box. Brilliant!!
Haha, thanks for sharing. I'm getting lots more comments than I thought I would.
Awesome review 👏. Just got one and wanted to see how it works. This was the best video I found online. Thanks for reviewing.
No kidding, thanks so much! I think you'll be happy with it as long as you don't push the limits with it.
a really impressive machine. i just got it myself today and was learning how to use it so your video was helpful.
Glad I could help!
Thank you for this review, I wasn't sure but I’m going to buy it because of your video.
Thanks for sharing, it will definitely help with your fall cleanup.
Good job on showing us the ins,and outs. Thank you 😊
Thanks, appreciate it!
That’s awesome I found this video! You explained very well! Thank you!!!
That makes me happy to hear! Thanks for stopping by🙌
This is a very helpful review. Thank you so much.
You're welcome, glad to hear it!
Excellent, concise review!
Thank you!
I got this for Christmas can't wait to use it
It's a handy tool to have for leaf and curb cleanup.
Thanks for the review
You bet, I also posted a video on my Instagram showing it chopping up wet leaves.
ive got one and yes it works great... as long as your leaves are dry.. if youve had rain within the week.. it will clog. also i invested in the leaf pro collection system - garbage can cover w the longer hose so not to bother w emptying the bag several times.
Thanks for the tips!
Thank you for this review ... I’m going to buy based on this review on Amazon
The metal impeller is a big selling point.
Great overview. Thank you.
Thanks, glad to help!
Thank you, you helped me figure out how to get debris out of the blade......
Glad to help, thanks for sharing!
great, detailed video thank you
Can't wait to get mine!
It's amazing how it grinds up the leaves. Great for window wells and curbs.
Great review very informative.
Glad it was helpful, thanks!
Just got one for Christmas nice review. Kings Fan But Great Hat!!!
Thanks man! 👊
Looks like a nice tool but in all honesty, if you have piles of leaves to get rid of you’d be there sucking them up forever. Even his time lapse video of him vacuuming the pile up seemed to take too long.
Great video!
Thanks for the visit
GOOD JOB THANK YOU.
You're welcome! 👍
Thank you so much very helpful
Glad to hear it!
I've got the same unit. Had it for a couple of years. I also have the connection from Worx to clean my gutters from the ground but I can't seem to get the nozzle off. I see the 2 tabs that you press in so that it could be removed but I never removed it and think that there must be dirt or something where I can't take it off to attach the gutter attachments on it. Maybe you can help me with this. I'm 71 years old and have very week hands and just can't seem to press and pull at the same time. Good video by the way and love the unit!
Thank you!
You bet!
I wonder how well it blows leaves that are siting in the grass in the yard? I only see demos of it blowing leaves on sidewalks, streets or patios which are quite smooth compared to a grass covered yard. I worry that the grass will hold the leave and not let them blow easily into a pile or concentrated area making them easier to vacuum.
It's pretty decent actually as a blower, 600 CFM with a wide mouth design.
Good review! AND!, music too!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks man, rock on!👊
Hello ! Thank you for sharing this video, I just bought a new one, I just want to know how to remove the blower tube? once we put it on, and hard to remove it, Please show us how to remove it! Thank you !
I’m 14 years old and I just got one and my parents are making me do the work so this helped a lot, thank you!
Glad to help. Sounds like you'll be busy, but at least it's better than getting a leaf rake. 🙌
I have been considering purchasing one. But I really would like to see an more accurate representation. When I but leaves in a bag I don't leave them fluffy. I press them into the bag. I try to put as much in the bag as I possibly can. If this mulcher breaks them down to 50% more I would consider it a good purchase.
I ended up keeping this unit... and I finally found the secret to easy use. It reduces leaves 16-1.. and it DOES suck and shred extremely well. The weight and the way the unit is balanced is a problem for me. HOWEVER... after some experimentation, What I do is just blow my leaves into a pile or windrow against the fence, and turn this unit on, lay it down on it's side, and then just use my leaf rake to gently direct the leaves toward the snout. It''s sucks them right in, shreds a huge pile so it fits into a couple bags, and makes things easy to deal with. I also use it in the regular way to suck leaves out of nooks and crannies under patio chairs, behind bushes etc.... it's really great for that.
Great idea for using it. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the review. So far I'm and enjoying the work reduction. It is not a magic wand, but it has severely impacted the time I use for leaf season. Have you tried the can attachment?
No, I haven't tried that attachment yet. This fall, I mulched up about 5 shredded bags. I emptied them pretty quick into a big trash can. I'll have to look into the attachment.
Thanks for the review - I ordered this one on Amazon so I don't have it yet but I was curious if you know how it will handle vacuuming up liquidamber balls as my tree drops thousands of those, along with a ton of leaves. Really hoping this will help make leaf cleanup a much easier task.
Now that I have it, I can answer my own question - yes, it seems to pick them up just fine! Very happy with this unit!
@@BirdsongCrochet Awww I would've answered.
Bought one on Amazon and was so excited to use it. I did the quick assembly of the vaccuum tube and bag but it doesn't turn on. The tube doesn't come off so I know it's secure. The orange cage over the blades is secure and the bag is quick connected. It.does.not.turn.on. Tried everything even different outlets and extension cords. Of course it's the weekend and Worx isn't working
I'm not sure what to say, but I've noticed that it can be a little stubborn if the rotating part isn't fully clicked all the way into position. Does it work as a blower?
I saw a black and decker one that looks kind of weak, i want one thats more strong i think this might be it?
It was a good introduction to the machine. My house has an incline that is full of dead leaves possibly one to two feet deep from years of accumulation. I have no concept of how much time it will take to clean up the area and wonder whether the Worx 512 will be able to handle this task. Your video only demonstrates of a pile already in place.
This might be good for blowing those leaves to a different area. It sounds like a big pile that's 2' deep might take awhile with the mulching option.
shovels are your friend, a 2 wheeled wheel barrow also. a commercial $800 blower gas powered is the only blower option that will touch that situation. facts.
I have the 509 model I've had for several years now,for the most part I do like it, the quick clip on yours is nice.I believe my 509 has dual metal blades?,how many blades on the 512?I use a trash can with the kit (cover & hose).
I'll have to get you an answer on Sunday. I don't have this stored at my house.
I need help putting the guard on my weedeater and it’s a combo weedeater and blower from
Worx Tri Vac please and thank you
Hey, nice review. Do I need a specific type of extension cord? I see the electric plug has some sort of circular protection around it.
I'm not sure what gauge extension cord is best. I just use a 50' one with a 3 prong and it works fine. It's not a heavy duty one either.
I hate the plug in end of the cord! Why is it recessed? I have difficulty keeping my unit plugged in. Suggestions?
I'd say definitely gas and battery. This review was a year ago I see but I'm just now looking into buying one of these. I LOVE the concept and in fact, a uncle of mine just got one and LOVES it. The issue for myself is the fact its not wireless. Does anyone know if they actually make a gas/Battery operated one? Or something equivalent? I have 4 acres and I'm also a female who lives alone.

I know this Trivac takes quite a bit of power to run it so that's why it's electric. ECHO and Stihl make a gas powered unit, but costs a lot more. The Worx Trivac has to just about touch the leaves to suck them up. It does lift them quickly, once they're in the tube. Are those answers to your questions helpful?
This looks great but is there a bkower / vac that can pick up pine cones too?
ECHO and Stihl make a gas unit that's probably more powerful, but I'll have to ask around and let you know.
How do I remove the blower tube so that I can attach gutter cleaner attachment. I am having trouble prying it out by pushing the 2 side buttons. Thank you
Me too did you figure it out ? I tried with 2 adults I don’t want to break it
How do you take off the extension up front ?? the large tube about a foot long ?
How loud would you say this is compared to a typical model? I am trying to find the quietest vaccuum on the market that mulches. This one sounds reasonably quiet for its power.
My worx Tri vac not picking up any leaves, Look up apart Mulching blades look clean. Still not picking up what else do you recommend that I look for?
Is it blowing when you flip it to that position?
i wonder how the Trivac can pick up leaves off of small or light weight rock beds. thanks for showing us the impeller part. it looks like rocks might either get kicked out, or damage the impeller.
I seemed to use it without any issues pulling leaves off rocks in a window well situation. They're probably 2-3" in diameter rocks thought.
@@MarkThomasBuilder great info, and appreciate the quick feedback!
You bet!
Thanks. I was thinking about the WORX Turbine Fusion but I like this one better. One question. Can this vacuum without mulching?
That's a good question. I believe it only has the option to mulch as it vacuums.
@@MarkThomasBuilder I only asked because I assumed it was a marketing gimmick. It does THREE things...but two of them always happen together. :D
Haha, that's true. I had to read to box to see what all three things were.
What happens to the Works 12A 3 in 1 when it overheats and stalls? Will it come back on after it cools down?
I've never had that happen. The battery powered tools I will say yes to, but I can't say for sure with the electric. You may need to email the company.
My trivac unit is not vacuuming as well as when it was brand new. What can I do to increase its suckion power. Dennis
If it's all cleaned out well and doesn't perform better, I'd call their customer care. I had a claim a few years ago and they did an excellent job.
My husband used the tri vac and now there is so much dirt that blows out of the bag when I'm using the vacuum part. Any advise to help that issue
I mostly use my vacuum for leaves which is a little dusty every time I use it. This is normal to see some dust and I just try and stay upwind of it.
Searched this mainly to see how well it will pick up and mulch damp leaves. Where I am at leaves are always damp. No one has shown this yet. Can you give an example or thoughts on this?
Eric Hughes I was thinking about showing that in my video. I’ll test it out on damp leaves and let you know.
@@MarkThomasBuilder 👍
I made an update video clip showing this chop of wet leaves. It's on my Instagram channel- MarkThomasbuilder.
I have the Worx Tri-Vac and it works well. The only thing I'm having trouble with is removing the tube in order to store it in its box. It is necessary to remove the tube or should I just leave it on? It was kind of hard putting it on but it finally clicked in place. I can put it in the box but with the tube attached it sticks out causing it harder to store on a shelf. What is the easiest way to remove the tube and then put it back on again?
I haven't tried taking the tube off after installing it. I'll take a look and see if I have any luck removing it.
Thisbis exactly our problem - can't get the tube off. Did you ever figure out how to do it?
On their website it claims 75mph, 600cfm while the WG524 that comes with the garbage bin attachment states 70mph at 620cfm. I really don't need the garbage bin attachment as I don't do that much mulching although I do have a question. What thickness & brand of power cords do you use? I've used thick & thin ones, the thick always feel too heavy although longevity is really important to me too. I'd quote gauges for the wire but I don't know what they were. Finding a good reel for the cords has so far proven to be impossible too. Any advice you have would be great. I already own a Stihl Kombi KM 94R so I'd like to keep my blower electric to reduce fuel costs.
I mostly own the Yellow Jacket brand of extension cords. I mostly use the 14/3 size, which seems to work just fine. The 12/3 gets a little heavy. I haven't bought a reel, but use a Tornado brand orange color wall hook.
@@MarkThomasBuilder Thanks!
Hello. How safe overall is this tool though? It seems that eventually someone is going to forget to unplug the electric cord before reaching in to unclog the device. Thank you for the review.
100% safe, safety features prevent hamburger
Can it handle giant sycamore leaves that are heavier and 6-7 inches wide?
Yes, I would think so. I mostly use it on maple leaves.
Can i use the vacoum with out a cable connect ? Is this rechargable?
No, this is an electric model. They don't offer it in a battery powered unit.
Me encanto que tiene subtitulos.
My question is what causes the vacuum to loose suction so quickly? I have another version of this same tool and it only works 5 minutes and I empty very little of the mulched leaves before it looses suction. I have very little in the mulching bag and I attach the empty bag to the machine. At first the vacuum is great and then within a few minutes again I loose suction. I am not sure what is going on. It shouldn't loose suction that fast.
I forgot to mention it is also a Worx TriVac electric. It looks just slightly different but it is the same concept.
Did you check the impeller? If I get something stuck in there, like a pine cone, it loses suction and I have to clear it out. Otherwise, it seems to keep going just fine with leaves and small twigs.
How do you take off the nozzle for storage? I'm pushing the black tabs and nothing is happening
I've got the same queston....
I LOVE the one I just got, but it's getting REALLLYYYY "dusty" when I vacuum/mulch. Like the bag, machine & everything is coated in a thin layer of mulch "dust". Yours is not doing that. Any tips? Thank you, this review & video IS really great & helpful. Also, the blower on this IS ridiculously impressive!
Mine gets dusty at times. It might be how dry the leaves are. It would be nice to have another filter bag to go over the main one to capture the fine dust.
@@MarkThomasBuilder Thank you so much for taking the time to reply! I wasn't sure if there was an issue based on yours in your video staying so clean. That clears that up perfectly! Yes, another filter bag would be great. But, in the meantime, I'll just wipe mine down. I also use the powerful blower to get that dust off & out of the bag from the inside out. Haha! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
What makes it 2.0 and does electrical cord come with it?Thanks!
I believe there's more air speed from the 2.0 and the end nozzle is different. There may by other small differences, but the improved CFM numbers helps you work faster.
It sure if I kissed it how long is the cord?
Wry helpful video
Thanks, the cord is very short. You need to provide your own extension cord to run it. I'm guessing a couple 50' cords should work well for most people.
would this pickup actual mulch /wood chip mulch? thanks
The metal impeller is designed more for leaves and not so much mulch, which would probable jam it.
I bought mine used the blower feature works but the vacuum doesn't. Do I need to connect the bag to make the vacuum Feature work?
Yes, it won't work without the bag. There might be a tube accessory to connect it to a large bin, but I haven't tried it.
@@MarkThomasBuilder wow! Thank you for your reply. I thought I got beat lol
Does anyone know if this picks up acorns? If so can it grind those up too?
My best guess is that it can handle a few stray acorns, but not a pile of them. If I get a chance to try it out, I'll respond back again.
Ida'sI have a huge tree in the front yard that dropped small little tree small sticks do I have to rake those up first or does the works mulch them?
If they're small and brittle little sticks that are light enough to be vacuumed up, than I would say yes.
@@MarkThomasBuilder thank you I don't know the cost of the work but I'm going to get one so I could be more efficient thank you for your response. I don't know if there's a newer model but I am going to get the electricity one in the trivac any recommendations
If you don't mind the cord, then this is the latest version and probably your best option.. I heard they're introducing a new battery powered model very soon, but I'm sure it costs more.
@@MarkThomasBuilder thank you I don't know the cost of the work but I'm going to get one so I could be more efficient thank you for your response. I don't know if there's a newer model but I am going to get the electricity one in the trivac any recommendations
@@MarkThomasBuilder thanks again for the information
I have one. How do you take off the long tube.
I may have to make a short video on that. Stay tuned.
I got the cheap version that looks like a check mark. I was going to use it today but it rained last night so I am going have to wait until tomorrow to use it cause I don’t wanna be electrocuted
I haven't tried this on leaves that are really wet. I think dry leaves mulch up better. I'm curious what brand has a check mark....
@@MarkThomasBuilder It’s the TriVac model WG509
Hi, just wondering if that blower/ vaccum lasts for how many seasons? is that still working?
It's still going strong. I use it for leaves and other small items. I don't try and pick up anything too tough for it.
@@MarkThomasBuilder thanks so much. I will buy one using your link. Do you ever use amazon protection plans?
Hopefully you still read messages on here. I bought this and it vacuums up leaves great but if there's leaves on a garden or somewhere with dirt that I'm sucking up, dirt/dust blows everywhere and everything gets dirty. Did you have any experience with this?
Yes, that's one of the tradeoffs. The vacuum bag needs to breathe unfortunately. That results in some dust at times from what you pick up. I try to do a bag at a time when I use it. One bag is quite a bit of leaves. Otherwise, wear a breather mask.
@@MarkThomasBuilder okay I wasn't sure if I was the only one experiencing that cause dust and dirty starts getting all over the place and wasn't sure if it was just from the garden soil or what
How do hook up the hose with rachet strap
If you're still needing that info, I could make a quick CZcams short video...
I just bought this how does it do with magnolia leavies?
I did't get a chance to try it on anything other than oak and maple leaves. I also used it on pine needles.
Can you tell me where I can get some of those BIG HANDS style leaf collectors ?
I believe I found them last year at Home Depot. I had those yellow pac-man looking ones for a few years now and don't like them nearly as much as the green Big Hands.
@@MarkThomasBuilder I'll have a peek at HD but somehow I don't expect to see them there just because they were there a year ago - I ordered the vac and it gets here next week - I can't wait - Neither can the leaves, they're falling every day !
I did find the big green ones on ebay - They show up if you search for "Leaf grabber" -
What extension cord do you recommend to use with this trivac?
I use any 50' extension cord I have handy. I have a couple 14/3 cords that work well.
Thank you so much for your reply!
interesting video please how to disassemble it
I keep mine stored with the bag taken off and hang the unit on the wall. Do you want it disassembled more than that?
I was thinking of using this to pick up small trash at our business. Not sure it would mulch though
Wouldn't work for trash unfortunately. Just leaves.
How do you remove the blower tube?
Hi Denise, I looked at it today and there's 2 tabs to push in on the tube in order to remove it. The tabs are pretty stiff, so it may be a little tricky.
Does it pick up hickory or pine nuts?
Not really. It's best suited for leaf cleanup. I sometimes pick up pine needles and some small twigs.
Does it have a fuse if so where is it located
I don't think it has any fuse. You need to make sure any items that jammed it have been cleared and that it's fully rotated into position with the screen latched. The slightest debris keeping it fully in place or latched will cause it not to work. Did that help?
Will this pick up Nuts 🌰 that are like half an inch?
They possibly could. I'd say that's probably around the limit.
What if something get stuck inside? Mine is ... what should I do????
You shut it off, unplug it, and flip the top open to access the obstruction in the impeller.
Can I use a long extension cord?
Yes, I believe I hooked a 100' to it with no issues. I'm not sure about going longer than that.
Nice blower/vac! I prefer 2-stroke gas powered equipment. In fact I purchased a Ryobi 25.4cc Easy Start Blower Vac on Saturday and it's pretty awesome.
It makes short work of pine needles,leaves and even pampas grass that I've used my brush cutter on.
Sounds like a nice vac! I'd like to compare this WORX one to a 2 stroke. I didn't think of trying it on items I cut with a brush cutter. Great idea!
@@MarkThomasBuilder Yep the only minor problem was the vacuum bag made of nylon and easily melts if it gets too close to the exhaust but a couple of canvas patches and a sheet of canvas as a heat shield fixed the issue.
WarframeGuide interesting, I didn’t think of that happening. Sounds like they may need to modify it slightly on future models.
@@MarkThomasBuilder Yeah also the spark plug is in an awkward place. That's gonna make cleaning/replacing a pain.
Have you use it for gum balls, mine are always brown, not green
600 CFM 70 MPH that’s vary Powerful for a leaf blower works try back what happened to the Works turbine fusion blower
They now have a Leafjet with 620 cfm and 120 mph. I just reviewed it on my channel.
Can it Vacuum only? I want to vacuum Pecans. Can it mulch the pecans?! Old Dry Pecans.
Edit:
I purchased - a Worx Trivac 3-in-1 Leaf Blower, Mulcher, Vac. Never going back. This thing does a number on everything it picks up, old pecans cannot even be detected in the resultant mulch.
Yea it can handle old dried Pecans. I've not had a single jam yet and I tested with the pecans. I picked up at least 50 while going to town on the regular leaf and twig job.
It's a vacuum and a blower. I'm not sure how easy old dry pecans will mulch up, but I use this for leaves and very small twigs. It jams with small pine cones.
Do you know the difference between the 512 vs 509?
Here's what I found doing a quick search... These two Trivacs will basically be a matter of coverage versus air speed. The WG512 will have a CFM of 600 while the WG509 will have a air volume of 350 CFM. The WG512 will also have a air speed of only 75 MPH while the WG509 has an air speed of 80 through 210 MPH . The WG509 will be have a higher mulching ratio of 18 to 1 and the WG512 will have a mulching ratio of 16 to 1. Based on there being different types of lawns a choice between these two items will be based on a customers discretion.
@@MarkThomasBuilder thanks for the reply. How does the 350 vs 600 CFM and the 75 vs 80-210 mph relate to performance. I will be buying one just trying to narrow it down.

What Leafpro adapter fitS the WORX WG512
WA4094 Universal gutter kit.
@@MarkThomasBuilder Thanks
@@MarkThomasBuilder Man thats too many tubes I only need the adapter.
If it stops turning on at all, what could it be?
I'd say it's jammed somewhere. Have you tried unplugging it and and clearing it all out?
@@MarkThomasBuilder no. I saw a used one for sale in this condition.
Will this suck up copters?
Yes , those shouldn't be a problem.
Can you mulch without the bag?
No that bag has a safety switch on it, making it required to work.
It is supposed to work with the Worx Leaf Pro collection system which has no switch. Does it work with the WA4058 ?
